Beautification, 2000

Ellen painted her two Beautification works (part of the 1999-2001 New York Beautification Project series) when she was invited to be in a show at the Clocktower. However, unlike most works in many shows, her beautiful, secretive, mysterious landscapes lived on to intrigue visitors, primarily City workers who would discover the work in the old elevator repair room. Harvey is a master of a captured memory we have in the backs of our eyes of pastoral landscapes only read about long ago. - Alanna Heiss, Clocktower Gallery Founder and Director
